PERFORM ROTARY DITCHING WITH DITCH DOCTOR
The Ditch Doctor rotary attachment is used to create, restore and maintain efficient ditches, and is gentle on the environment. The attachment is used with a hydraulic excavator as a faster and more cost effective alternative to the conventional ditching method of bucket and excavator. One of the major benefits of the Ditch Doctor method is that the spoil is self-leveling so there is no need for any additional handling of the spoil. It produces an immediately viable ditch requiring less maintenance once established and significantly reduces the impact on the local environment. The vegetation on the slope of the ditch is not disturbed preventing erosion of the evenly distributed spoil back into the ditch. The Ditch Doctor method can also create a two stage ditch and work in up to three feet of water. For more information, visit ditchdoctor.ca
NEW FLEXIBLE DUAL-WALL PIPE AVAILABLE
Prinsco, Inc. introduces GOLDFLEX, a flexible dual-wall pipe that pairs the performance of traditional dual-wall sticks with the installation ease of single-wall coils. The dual-wall pipe is designed for high performance drainage mains and installs up to 60 percent faster than traditional sticks. It comes in coils up to 290 feet and can be plowed in using a customized plow boot. This eliminates the need to trench, place and join dual-wall sticks, making installation much safer, faster and more cost effective. The benefit to farmers is less soil compaction, shorter installation timelines and a faster entry into the fields. The ability to plow in mains also makes GOLDFLEX ideal for high water table areas where trenching isn’t possible. For more information, visit prinsco.com
FRATCO RELEASES FLEXCORR
FlexCorr is a solution to one of the biggest problems in the drainage industry. FlexCorr functions as a “main” and comes spooled and ready for modern automated installation. It promises to shave days off installation, decreasing costs, and allowing installers to keep up with demand. The lower-density, flexible inner liner performs better in longterm stress crack resistance and cold temperature brittleness tests required by ASTM. Currently, Fratco is initially offering the pipe in a variety of sizes (8” to 15” in diameter) and styles (plain, perforated, and narrow slot), which are compatible with current fittings.

AGRI DRAIN INTRODUCES TWO NEW PRODUCTS
The EZTee is a rugged-built tile tee, made of injection molded HDPE, that lays flat, then snaps together over the pipe like a clamshell. Integrated fasteners and internal tabs ensure a secure connection to corrugated plastic pipe. Snap the EZTee together and push the pipe through, or simply lay the tee under the pipe and snap together. EZTee’s stackable design saves space and shipping costs vs. standard bagged tees! EZTees comply with ASTM F 405-13 &amp; AASHTO M 252-09 standards.
Amazing Tile Tape now comes in 4” wide x 108’ long rolls, saving time by covering more on each pass. Amazing Tile Tape makes watertight junctions and connections. Unlike other tapes on the market, it has amazing grip and stretching capabilities, making it the best in the industry. Amazing Tile Tape can be used in a variety of applications, including field tiling, marine, plumbing, automotive, and maintenance. For more information on these products, visit agridrain.com
